Erin – I stayed up late watching it too! I was so engrossed I actually threw out Ethan Frome and the Canterbury Tales and taught my high schoolers all about it the next day. The website is excellent as well. It’s as good as This American LIfe.. and thankfully not as depressing! I figured I was the only person under 45 watching PBS that night, but so glad to know I’m in good company.

Oh I wish I knew the PBS story but…well it’s a long story but the electrical circuit that feeds the big TV is out because we had the power lines to the house moved because we’re building a new patio in the back and they haven’t figured out what’s going on. (I told you it’s a long story) Anyway, I haven’t really had television for a week because my kids don’t like me to watch television in their rooms, the upside being I’ve read three books this week. But this show looks pretty cool.
And well don’t sweat the coffeemaker. I don’t even make coffee during the week because I have a hard time making coffee when I *need* coffee and there’s a Starbucks with a drive-thru on the way to work. (and I put my makeup on the car too,… I know, bad…but there’s a lot of stoplights.) So it’s really all okay afterall.

I’ve been watching this on and off when I catch it on PBS and although I don’t think I’ve caught a whole episode, I found the parts that I have seen to be incredibly beautiful, insightful, and powerful. I can’t wait to catch the rest of it – I think it can really teach a lot to viewers. My new year’s resolution was to RELAX and, in addition to taking a yoga class, I think this show is going to have a great impact on my life. Looks like yours as well!
